In recent years academic and research centers have been driven by a number of significant factors to improve their performance and financial self-reliance. The goal of this paper is to study the impact of entrepreneurial orientation on organizational performance of 25 institutes and research centers located in Tehran. Moreover, the paper intends to show that the extent of organizational justice as a facilitating factor can enhance the impact of entrepreneurial orientation. The research group includes 500 researchers out of which 208 persons were selected as sample population. The hypothesis testing and path analysis of research are carried out through the structural equation modeling method using the professional program, LISREL 8.8. The results indicate that with presumption of only a simple linear relationship between entrepreneurial orientation, and organizational performance, the organizational justice can play a moderating role in target population. However, given the simultaneous existence of both direct relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and organizational performance and indirect relationship through the organizational justice, the moderating role of organizational justice becomes insignificant, leaving only the direct impact of entrepreneurial orientation on organizational performance to be significant (88%).

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of domestic marketing on the organizational innovation through mediation of the staff self-efficacy. The statistical population of this study includes 150 members of Emersam Company where the sample members were selected randomly. In order to collect the research data, three questionnaires have been used. These include the questionnaire of internal marketing that was developed and standardized by Nasr Esfahani and et al. (2012), the questionnaire of efficacy that was developed and standardized by Chen (2001), and the self-administrated questionnaire of organizational innovation. In order to examine and confirm the validity of such questionnaires, a descriptive validity Method was used through AVE index. Also Composite Reliability (CR) and Cronbach’s Alpha Coefficient were used for examining and confirming the reliability of the questionnaires. The Structural Equation Modeling was used to analyze the data in the SMART-PLS. The results reveal that internal marketing influences organizational innovation significantly (with path coefficient 0/501). Also the results show that the internal marketing affects the staff self-efficacy (with path coefficient 0/795). These results also reveal that staff self-efficacy influences organizational innovation significantly (with path coefficient 0/688). On the other hand, the results indicate that the staff self-efficacy can be considered as a mediating factor in the relationship between internal marketing and organizational innovation (with path factor 0/546).

Corporate entrepreneurship channels the efforts of an organization to create a series of sustainable competitive advantages as the basis for growth and profitability. Corporate entrepreneurship seeks the basic goals of identifying and following opportunities to create new ventures and strategic renovation (recreation). This research is aimed at investigating the impact of the organizational entrepreneurial climate on innovation in the Islamic Culture and Thought Research Center as a major human science research center in Iran. This is an applied research based on correlative-descriptive method. First, a number of questionnaires were given to the managers of different levels, officials and board members of that Research Center. Out of which 110 questionnaires were gathered. After collection of the data, the multiple line regression method in SPSS was used for analisis. The results showed that managerial support, flexible boundaries of the organization, availability and appropriate compensation for the staff and reinforcement of the staff all affect the innovation positively but job autonomy does not affect the innovation in that Research Center. Finally it was concluded that, in general, the organizational entrepreneurial climate has a significant relationship with innovation in the Islamic Culture and Thought Research Center.

Access to knowledge resources such as human capital and managing these capitals is the main element of attaining competitive advantages in a knowledge-based economy, in a manner that needs a distinctive paradigm of human resource management. The necessity of adopting diverse human resource practices for driving innovation has resulted in doing current research aimed at considering the impact of different initiatives of innovative human resource management on entrepreneurship. The research method is descriptive–correlational and based on Structural Equation Modeling. The survey population consisted of the employees of Bouali Sina Petrochemical Complex (BSPC) out of which 227 employees were selected by using simple random sampling based on sampling formula. The main tool of gathering data was questionnaire. The research results indicated that formation of innovative climate paves the way for entrepreneurship.

In the beginning of the 1980s, the organizational entrepreneurship was considered a factor which could affect the output of the small, medium and big organizations and improve the growth and innovation of an organization. Nowadays, large numbers of organizations exploit the entrepreneurship as a procedure to achieve long-term competitive advantages. Thus, it is of great importance to identify the effect of the entrepreneurial orientation and the organizational factors on the performance in a correlational research method in the Technical Subsidiary Firms of the National Iranian Oil Company and design a conceptual model with the three elements of entrepreneurial orientation, organizational factor and organization performance. The research questionnaire was randomly distributed among 280 middle and senior managers and the experts in the technical subsidiary firms of the National Iranian Oil Company of which 214 questionnaires were collected. The correlation average, path analysis and Shannon entropy method were used for data analysis. The results proved the acceptability of the research hypotheses. In conclusion, some suggestions for improving the organizational entrepreneurship and more extensive research have been presented.

In this paper an embedded framework is proposed to employ corporate entrepreneurship concepts into a business process reengineering (BPR) technique. The former has a strong theoretical background and the latter has application potentials. Our case study is a Government Trading Company (G.T.C). We applied a mix research method to answer the research questions, where, by using the grounded theory, the factors affecting the company's willingness to apply BPR are categorized into six groups including structural, customers, financial, technological, human resource, and regulations. Then, the readiness of G.T.C to apply reengineering activities is evaluated based on a quantitative method. The result indicates an appropriate level of readiness in the knowledge about processes, leadership, management commitment and systems; an average level of readiness in IT application and collaborative working environment; and a poor level of resistance to change. Based on this model, some opportunities for improvement and, innovation are recognized, and suggestions are made to exploit these opportunities.
